Join us on February 25 – 27, 2010 at the College of Law, University of Saskatchewan, for a conference on one of the most critical issues facing the Canadian labour relations and human rights communities: freedom of association in the workplace.

This conference will: review the character, evolution and status of freedom of association at work as a global right; examine domestic law and practice in light of Canada’s international obligations; and, explore ways that Canadian norms may be harmonized with Canada’s international obligations.

Although a broad range of issues will be discussed, particular attention will be paid to recent Canadian jurisprudence, the right to strike, and non-statutory unionism as an alternative or complement to majoritarian exclusivity.

Speakers will include:

Janice Bellace, University of Pennsylvania and Chair ILO Committee of Experts
